guys don't want to talk about it, but we're going
to talk about it today, pros state awareness. We're going
to talk about that. And June I think I'm correct,

(01:43):
is Men's Health Month. So yeah, we want to want
our men to stay healthy in the studio with us
this day. We want to welcome men doctor Terry Carpenter,
also mister Ken Carpenter and as we say, my boo,
what Harold Scottie Scott, original member of the Tim Prize.

(02:06):
Let me say good afternoon to you, lady and gentlemen.
How y'all doing good to have y'all here. You are
so welcome. You know, this is this is. I think
that's such an important topic for us to talk about,
and especially men because I've had well, I have men

(02:30):
friends that have had prostate cancer and somehod and they're
gone on. So we want to talk about it and
want to start. I want to start with mister Kim
kppering it. What's her brother? I'm doing well? How you doing?

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Look, I'm doing blessed, I'm blessed.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Good good.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
When we talk about prostate cancer and prostate awareness, you
all have have come up with the Prostate Awareness Council.
What is that all about?

Speaker 8 (02:56):
Yeah, the acronym is PAC and that is for a
Prostata Educational Awareness Council.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
And we decided.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
That we would launch this Bible one C three registered
Bible one C three nonprofit for Prostate Council Awareness. Our
mission is to educate, test and advocate for prostate awareness.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (03:20):
It started back and I guess well, first I had
to come grips with myself that I had prostate cancer.
And I went to my family and admitted and told
them I had to come out that shell.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Further helped when I didn't know Ken.

Speaker 8 (03:35):
Yes, I am an advocate, okay, as well as survivor. Yeah,
so what you're getting here on this show today is
a medical perspective for doctor Carpenter as well as a
living survivor advocate, right with myself and Scotch Scottie.

Speaker 9 (03:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:54):
And that's what's good about our office. Okay, house in
one office, and that's usually not the case, right, So
we are sharing the same office space, carpont and primary
health care that you know so much about, as well
as what we have which we launched the five O,
one C three. Now, doctor Carpenter is one reason that
a lot of this got started. And I'm gonna let
her tell you about what have you done?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
She broke out. Michelle, I tell you, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Wasn't before we talked to doctor Carpenter. I want to
ask you because I didn't know that you were survivor yes,
I prostate cancer.

Speaker 8 (04:27):
When when when you heard about it, when the doctor
told you, what were you thinking?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
What was your first thoughts?

Speaker 7 (04:34):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (04:37):
First of deep breath and I had to Textail and
it was it was horrific. Okay, it wasn't what I
expected I wanted to hear. Okay, recognizing that I had
several members in my family that have died from prostate cancer,
and recognizing that my mother had warned me back mid

(04:58):
sixties that you know, the men and your family don't
live long. Most of them don't age of seventy and
it's usually cancer. And one brother that's actually that brain
cancer too, that Scott did very well know, grew up
together with, hung out with and so Robert. Yes, and
so uh my wife was with me. She followed me

(05:18):
throughout this journey. And so I guess I let her
tell you I was trying to get the TSU homecoming,
but I said, no.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I know, do you remember it now?

Speaker 7 (05:33):
You know?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah? So, and and welcome in doctor Capperence is always
and I love dot com and then yeah, this is
my my Sowerrid, my sorority sister DELTI Sigma Theta. Yeah,
but doctor Carpenter, Yeah, so what happened.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
And as he stated, yeah, we were on our way
t issue homecoming, and so before we got there, we
had to stop at the doctor's office to get his
results of his bob opsy. So the bobsy was gonna
actually tell us if he actually had prostate cancer or not.
So we went and doctor came in, gave us the
results and a positive that he did have prostate cancer.

(06:13):
And so the first thing I said, oh, well he
gave the doctor gave the options. I said, oh, we're
getting to removed. I ain't even ask him. I decided
for him, this is what we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, And so he did.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
He had a real depressed look on his face, and
I knew it took him aback. Yeah, So what I
said was we're going to homecoming anyway. We're not gonna
let this get us down. And so we went on
to TSU homecoming and had a fairly good time. And
so that was the gist of that. And as a
result of this, he has come out of his shell.

(06:47):
As he states, he is truly an advocate. And so
how we actually got to piac so, of course, in
primary care at Carpentry Primary Health Care, of course, I
screened all my men, especially if you're forty five and up,
but sometimes younger if you're forty, if you have a
you know, a family history of it, okay. And so
when they would come in for their fields of exams,

(07:08):
I would always draw the prostate tests or the PSA
as we call it. And so unfortunately, if someone comes back,
their numbers become elevated, and the normal rangers for PSA
zero to four, so anything over four. So my recommendation
for that is, okay, well first let's talk about it, okay.
And what I would do was when I would go

(07:30):
in to give them their results, they would give me
that deer in the head like, look like, I don't
want to talk to you about this, right, And so
what I did was I said, okay, well, I have
the perfect person I want you to talk to that
would maybe make you feel a little bit more at ease.
And so I said, well, I would give them my
husband's story. Yeah. I gave them history and his journey

(07:50):
and where he was with with prostate cancer. And so
what I did was I went and got him out
of the office and I said, okay, I need you
go in room one. I need you go and room
I ain't ask him anything, okay, And that's how their
journey started started.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
Whenever hear Room one in room three, I know, so
you already know, already know it's a man in there
that's under now self suffering and just not really ready
to own up to uh what are the results? And
the bad thing about it? So many of them don't
want their family members to know.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Right, So why is that, doctor Carpenter, You don't want
your family to know you. You don't want them to
worry and stress or what is it?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I think for a lot of men, it's the stigma
of what they know that can occur. If I have
prostate cancer, then people are gonna scrutinize me to look
at me differently. And then they also associate prostate cancer
with erectal dysfunction. I'm not gonna be able to have
sex anymore. I may potentially lose my wife because they're

(08:55):
thinking that they can't perform those kinds of things. So
I think for a lot of them, it's the stigma.
Just back in the day, back in the nineteen eighties,
you know eight when HIV became the biggie.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, everybody was.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Like this tamboo I don't want to talk about that, right,
what prostate cancer for me and is kind of the
same thing.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
And cancer period I remember, and you say you and
I go back the seventies and sixties and my mother's friend.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Was having They wouldn't never say the word my grand cancer.
They would just say sea or they were whispering, you know,
because the big cey, and that's what they would say.
But this is twenty twenty five, right, And that's why
I have you all here to talk. We're gonna ask
you what I want to turn over to. Harold Scotty,
Scott Scotti, the Tim pries. How you doing, brother? I'm

(09:42):
doing real good, yes, Scott, so so Scotty. And one
of the things that Ken and doctor competer that. And
I know Scotty didn't want to tell people because being
an entertainer, but I but he got to the point,
I'm gonna let you tell your story, Scott. You got
to the point he says, I need to tell somebody
to help somebody. So that's how Scotty, when when how

(10:05):
did this all this journey begin with you?

Speaker 10 (10:08):
Actually, a couple of years ago, my doctor kept telling
me by h P. S. A was kept going up up. Now,
there's a history of my family. My daddy died of
project cancer.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Wow. My little brother who who's dead.

Speaker 10 (10:24):
Now, had had cancer, prostate cancer, and didn't tell nobody.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
He got rid of it.

Speaker 10 (10:31):
So when I came back to Memphis to live, that's
when I found out he had process because but he didn't.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Have any more.

Speaker 10 (10:38):
I got up one night and had to urinate and couldn't,
went straight at the hospital and there it was. But Bell,
I can say this, I've never been ashamed of it.
I never I've never been uh trying to keep it
a deep doc secured up. I did it because I
don't know why I thought you were keeping I wasn't.

(10:59):
When I go I told everybody, I told Facebook, I
told I got cancer, you know. But my doctor assured
me that it wasn't a death sentence.

Speaker 11 (11:09):
You know.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I said, with los no desten what I got to do?

Speaker 12 (11:12):
You know?

Speaker 10 (11:13):
So it's changes some things in your life. And uh,
he didn't want me to travel for a while. He
didn't want me to do a lot of things, you know.

Speaker 11 (11:23):
So but.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Because you had to, did you you did? You have
to take treatment.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I took chemo, a hardcore chemo. But the doctor.

Speaker 10 (11:34):
It was fascinated with me because I never threw up,
I never got sick. I didn't miss any chemo treatments.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (11:42):
It just I just took it like a pro, like
a champ. But now I probably don't need to say this.
I see my hands wrinkling.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
You didn't know.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
That.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
And so they they're command in college.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (12:04):
And that's the only thing. The way, the way I
knew it was over and I didn't have to go
to treatment anymore. I went to take a treatment that
day and the nurses I had made friends, all the nurses,
they all knew me.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 10 (12:16):
They said, Scotty, why are you here today playing with me?
I said, I can't take my treatment. They said, you
don't have no business in here. I said, what do
you mean they gotta be there that all the nurses
must start to office sweet balloons and stuff, and said,
you don't have cancer no more. You cancer free. Fourteen months.

Speaker 7 (12:34):
I went through it.

Speaker 10 (12:35):
Wow, mine was fast because I had made friends with
the lots of the guys there, and they had been
coming for two.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Years, three years. Some would always come, but mine was over.
It was just like that. And then the day I
rung the bell. I was yesterday was a year that
I rung the bell.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, Delaus.

Speaker 10 (12:57):
Did in West Cancer. When I got there, all these
people friends were there. The lady told me, she said, Scotty,
we got help and do you because we can't have
this many people in here doing this. It was a wonderful,
wonderful day. But on serious side, fellas, go and check yourself.

(13:18):
You know, if if I had done what the doctor
told to do in the first phrase, I would not
have gotten that for I don't guess. Maybe I was
destined to be there, but please check yourself because you
do not have It's not a death sentence. You don't
have to die because you get prostate cancer. You don't
have to stop living your life because you have prostate cancer.
You know, other people will make it the way for you.

(13:40):
You know.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I found that out. But it's but it's not like that.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Wow, you know, wow, you know so well. I'm so
I'm glad that doctor Carper, both of Ken and Scotty,
you all are sharing your story with the fellas out there.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yeah, and so I want to go back so Scotty

Speaker 10 (14:13):

Speaker 7 (15:41):

Speaker 2 (16:13):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show. Here's Bev Johnson
and we're talking about prostate awareness and prostate cancer. With
me in the studio is doctor Terry Carpenter, her husband
Ken Carpenter, who is an advocate, and he is a
prostate cancer survivor. Harold Scott is we know miss Scotty.

(16:34):
Scotty Scott, the original Tim Prize is here, a prostate
cancer survivor. Ladies and gentlemen, We're going to our phone
lines to talk to our listeners. Hi, David, Hey Bell.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
Hey Bell, Hey, thank you, thank you for having this.

Speaker 13 (16:53):
Oh wow, this is so on time because I have
some questions. And thank you brothers for sharing. I really
appreciate that. And hello and welcome, Thank you, you're welcome.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Doc.

Speaker 13 (17:08):
I went from my yearly check up and when I
got the results back, it did not have a PSA
test on probably about four years ago, the PSA was high,
maybe a little bit longer. Two years ago we were good,
and so I called and asked. I said, well, I

(17:28):
don't see a PSA test on here, and the nurse says, well,
I think it was because you had it two years ago.
I'm sixty five years old. I'm African American. Don't know
whether there's a history of prostate cancer within my family
because I don't know my father, never knew my father
and inside. But does that is that? Is that normal

(17:50):
that they just do it every two years?

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Now?

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Well, I customarily do my man, I do it every
year because things can change so quickly within one year.
So you may want to go back and ask your provider,
you know, maybe what happened in that situation. But customarily
we like to check it once once a year. But
as you said, you didn't know if you had a
family history at all. Do you know what your numbers

(18:17):
were when you when the last one you did that
was elevated?

Speaker 13 (18:20):
You say, oh no, that's like I said, that's been
at least four years. I was, yeah, yeah, it's been
four years. Two years ago. They said the test was fine. Okay,
Now now I'm I'm more than happy. In fact, I'm
a static that I don't hear that snapping of them
gloves and the and the terms been over. I ain't

(18:42):
gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, the digital rectal exam, yeah.

Speaker 12 (18:46):
Oh well whatever we all call it.

Speaker 13 (18:48):
I just don't tell me to relax and let me
do that.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
You will tell you relax.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
But anyway, that's what it's called, Yeah, customer.

Speaker 13 (18:56):
A rectal exam. But why didn't they use if it's.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
That's because we need to feel And that's the whole
purpose of it is to be able to feel the prostate.
And I have to tell you most of the men
in my clinic they refuse it too, So that's why
we get the blood test. But for those who agree
to allow me to check it, the whole purpose is
so we can actually feel the prostate, because actually feeling
the prostate can tell you a whole lot. The prostate

(19:23):
is relatively small. It's the size of a walnut and so,
and so what we're feeling for is sits right up
under the bladder. And so what we're feeling for is
the texture to see if it's enlarged, to see if
it's soft. So enlargement may mean that you have benign
prostatic apertrphy, which means a large prostate. If it's soft,
it may mean you might have some inflammation. Or of course,

(19:45):
if it's hard, that could potentially mean that you may
be at risk for cancer. So us feeling as tells
us a whole lot as a result to the blood
test as well.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
So the more information the better.

Speaker 13 (19:57):
It's uncomfortable, obviously, but if if you're saying that I
need to do that, then that's what I'm going I'm
gonna request it. I mean, okay, no, I'm gonna do that.
And I do have I do have v p H
and uh they put me on they put me on
finestra side one time, and it was it was a

(20:18):
miserable situation. So I looked up on web MD found
the natural remedy and I've been using it every since
and I'm good from that standpoint. But they did say, well,
if you want to try this new stuff for this stuff,
what is it called? Yes, ma'am, thank you.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, those are the two usually.

Speaker 11 (20:42):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 13 (20:43):
Because the FINESSA side, what it did, it didn't really
help with the frequent urination and that was early. But
what it did stopped me up. I couldn't breathe at
night and that wasn't okay.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, normally what the medicines do, one kind of helps
with the urinary flow and then the other one kind
of helps with them flamation. So if you take them together,
they usually work pretty good. It's just a matter just
getting used to taking the medication.

Speaker 13 (21:08):
Well lasting and clothes. And I appreciate your patience with
me because I'm not a doctor. I take soft pome
metal tie jim and nettle together and that has helped.
That's the natural remedy I found on web md and
and and and got the review from other men. And
it works well, and there is a side effect. The

(21:28):
only side effect I had was that I can have
sex longer. And the young lady with at the time
he had no problem with that. So I'm good.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
You sound like you're good.

Speaker 11 (21:40):
All right.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Thanks for sharing, David. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Thank you, David.

Speaker 13 (21:45):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Bye bye, common man.

Speaker 11 (21:49):
Hey Bill, how you doing doing well?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Common man?

Speaker 11 (21:52):
And you I'm doing fans. Let me say hello to
your to your guests, and congratulations and ken on overcoming
your cancel, your pro state cancel. Yes, and also to
your wife for being there for you. Can you know

(22:13):
I applaud her as well. Uh. Yes, I have a
quick story in a in maybe two or three questions
for your doctor. I have a friend bib uh that
told me maybe a couple of years ago that he
was dinosed with prostate cancer. And he he he was
very open and uh fringed me in the conversation and
just comfortable with telling me, you know, the things they

(22:35):
went through. And uh, he told me something that was funny.
He said, well, he said, the doctor told me. You know,
I can tell you right now you just thank your
wife for dinner and tell your love and don't worry
about nothing else for now, not for a while, you know.
And so he was, he was real hilarious with it,
you know. But uh, my questions to you, doctor, uh,
are they any signs, any any like signs that a

(22:58):
person may experience before being diagnosed. And then like the
often you know going back and forth your navy. Is
that because something due to the fact of the prostrate
blocking your flow, the flow of your nation. Yes, so
there has something to do with that.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
So if you have an enlarge prostate, it can obstruct
the urine flow. So what happens is you have that
urgency of going back and forth to the restroom. Some
people experience experience pain. Sometimes you can experience what we
call hesitancy, or you may go to the bathroom and
then all of a sudden it stops in midstream and
then you're thinking you're finished, and then you got to

(23:39):
go back again. So a lot of the they're laughing
over here, but yeah, that's probably one of the biggest things.
And just just then uncomfortable feeling of having to get
up and go to the bathroom every thirty minutes to
an hour that I hear some men talk about. But
as far as prostate cancer itself, you may not necessarily
have a sign. So that's why it's important for you

(23:59):
to go to your annual physicals every year. And I
to my men and my women, those annual physics, it
tells the tale. It tells the tale.

Speaker 11 (24:08):
Yes, right, Okay, this other question, I think maybe the
last one.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Wait wanted to say, I'm going jack, Okay, I missed.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
Uh my PSA levels were good one year. I missed
my physicals the following year, and then following I guess
that was about two years later my ps A numbers
were up.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
I had no idea, no feeling. I mean, you just
don't know that ps is an indication.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
Now you wait and those ps PSA levels get very
high like Scottish dead, then yes, you will have you
will know because you're going to have some medical complications
behind that, okay, but early on that no, And that's
why it's best to try to you know, the early
detection is the key.

Speaker 11 (24:52):
That's what saved lasts, right, okay, And that's what I
was about to ask the doctor. Uh, in the case
of early detection, and then what are the chances of
is it a significant difference opposed to it being later
in terms of overcoming the cancer? Would be very important
if oh yeah, the.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Earlier, the better. Pross cancer is the second leading cause
of cancer deaths and it's definitely prevalent in the African
American community. So early detection is the key. And your
survival rate is wow, twofold. So okay, if you go
to the doctor and get those the PSA checked, that

(25:32):
can save your life drastically.

Speaker 11 (25:34):
You can okay, Okay, Well, I want to thank you
out for this coming. Oh I'm sorry, go.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Ahead, No, go ahead, go ahead something.

Speaker 11 (25:41):
Yeah, I want to thank you for the conversation because
you know, it opens up the door and opens up
your mind and bring awareness. I've never had my PSA's checked.
I go twice a year to my PC and I
will be having to check when I go over over
in September.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Definitely have that conversation with your primary care.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, thank you comming.

Speaker 11 (26:00):
I appreciate y'all.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
W D I a hi caller, Hey beb how you doing.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'm doing well? How are you all right?

Speaker 12 (26:12):
And I'm saying hello to the car. This was their
touch the situation for me, I went through my husband.
I'm trying to put some in light, you know. There
she had crossed a cancer. He went through the thing
at the DA. We went step by step and they
said he went through and rung the bell and then

(26:37):
he had scartagius in his and his intestines. So he
went to a bondic something for forty days. He didn't
complain at all. He did the treatment for forty days

(26:57):
and then he came home. He was sicker and I
had to take him to Methodist South, I mean Methodist Germantown.
He got better. They tried to do something twis and tested,
but he died. BUTO they could corrected, but they said
his prostate hadn't came out. I don't know what happened,

(27:21):
but he was diagnosed with that prostat cancer. So I
didn't understand it.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, we are sorry for your for your loss, Cassandra.
We are so sorry for that, but.

Speaker 12 (27:36):
Maybe died here. He died last year.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Okay, well, well, thank you for checking in with us.
And I'm going to ask doctor Carpenter about about that.

Speaker 12 (27:47):
Yeah, I like to know some more aboutout it kids
going to tell you that.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
The organization they have, so you keep listening so you
can get more information. Okay, Yeah, caution for you. So
you said she's gone, didn't Yeah, but you wanted to
ask her about.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
I was going to ask her, so did I understand
he did not have his prostate removed?

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Is what she didn't see insight?

Speaker 4 (28:14):
So okay, yeah, that would be the question if he
had it removed or not. And then the other thing
would be even if he did have it removed, I
mean there is a chance that you know, still sometimes
the cancer could still be in the Pelvic region and
it can spread to different areas in the in the Pelvic.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Region, Okay, it can spread it.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, So that would be my question for her. Okay,
possibly what happened?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, before we go back to our phone line, Ken,
I want you to get in here to tell about
what you all are doing and what you all have
put this Council together.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, we did.

Speaker 8 (28:48):
Uh you know last year twenty twenty four, we decided
since doctor Carpenter and I uh journey started in the office,
we thought we would go out into community did to
try to help more people, and so we organized through
Carpent the Primary health Care.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
A screening event. We pulled in.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
Several partners and we started with the D nine organization
pan Hell okay, presidential leads High thank you for allowing
us to do that, because that's what the men were
right and that's where we knew we wanted to start
and get screening. So we reached out to other organizations
to help us out screening.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
That was one group, Pece. They did the screening.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
They were from out of town City of Hope, which
now used to be Cancer Center of America Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
They came in and helped out.

Speaker 8 (29:39):
So we had a lot of sponsors and so from
that event, BEV we kept with the marmeter, going on
thy numbers, on registered numbers, and again right before your
show two days out, you know, we got on the phone,
I looked at the marmeter that morning it was seventy
six registered.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
We know, we wanted to hit that benchmark. Of one
hundred and two.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Days later, the day of the event, I got up,
I looked at the registered numbers and it was one
hundred twenty two twenty two. So we had any twenty
two men to come out, and just unfortunate we was
only able to screen ninety three.

Speaker 10 (30:11):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
And so we then said, well, we wanted to do more,
and so part of that was to launch our nonprofit okay,
because we had to have the money to do it.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Yeah, and so that's how PAX started.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
We went and I have to think a lot of
partners that helped us get this under control, get it started. Actually,
I needed a certified non profit person because I mean,
nonprofit is different from my business, right, and you can
get into trouble that she told me with our you
don't do have certain compliance and get paperwork and things
like that. So again a shout out to Beverly Anderson
diversified small Business.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
She is B nine Okay, she's a leader. We put
in a request to Methodists.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
Because we needed an address and the only address I
could think of was Carton Primary health Care.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
But I release agreement was not it's just medical.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
So Methodists officials said, yes, you can use your business
address office to have an office for the nonprofit. We
needed a local partner to do the screening. Quest Laboratories
said yes, whatever wherever you go, we're gonna partner with you.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
That's huge.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
Yeah, and we needed a medical advisor, okay for the nonprofit.
Doctor Walford Rayford. He's the only African American eurologist hero
with the NBA.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
He's an MD and a PhD.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
He is a medical advisor.

Speaker 8 (31:34):
I reached across the street to Trust Marketing and they
were there from the beginning with carping in primary health
care ten years ago. Again they were there and matter
of fact, Howard Robertson wrote the piece in our website
why PAK is important, and he checked on the other day,
want to see how things are going, and always offering advice.
He and Beverly are just terrific.

Speaker 12 (31:56):
So we.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
Also, I have to thank you because it was through
your efforts that launched an event that big that I
was told from the group that screens that you all
screen more people than ever. They said, it's the largest
screening event in one day that's ever been done.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
The the had record off.

Speaker 10 (32:18):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
So that again was the stimulus to go out and
do more and those numbers went up because of your
radio show, your call that I was on through you know,
yeah uh, And so I am here again to help
get that numbers up for the event we.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Have coming up.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Okay, when is it coming up?

Speaker 8 (32:35):
And it is this Saturday, Saturday, and we'll be at
the Cato and Georgiette Georgiette and Kato Johnson YMCA forty
seven twenty seven.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
That especially Boulevard.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
We are there from nine am to twelve noon, which
Quest Laboratories, and we're going to be screening only four
PSA and Natasha wrong and it's free, absolutely free. That's
why we have to put the nonprofit so we can
raise money to pay for it and pay for other things,
because this is another business that you have to pay.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
You have other expenses for it. And so we want
men to get out and register.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Come out. It's free screening and we have others playing
for this year.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
We're not to do good. So so ken, how do
men register? What do they need to do?

Speaker 8 (33:20):
They can go on our website okay, and that is
pac p E A C slash not underscore slash, Memphis
dot org. Okay and say that again. P E A
C that's pac slash Memphis dot org and or you
can go to us on Facebook and we have everything

(33:41):
there for you. I mean, and they prefer them to register,
but if somebody just walks up, we're going to be
prepared for them too, Okay. And if we have such
a big overflow like you took a slash tame, we're
only screened it for fifty this time, not one hundred
you're taking up. We're going to keep that registered information
and we're going to be doing something in September because
September it's probably State Cancer Awareness Month in September, and

(34:03):
that's we're going to do something big. Wow, we're gonna
do seven point like we did last year. Yeah, we're
talking about seven point. I mean ps A, Tatasha broone
h d L l d L glue cose track, glysse Rise,
We're doing the whole gammuck. Okay, he w go over
and yeah, we're doing it all. Okay, that would be
in since September. We'll just keep that information and the
lert the people and let them know where mand them say, look,

(34:23):
we got another event coming up and then we're going
back in December. We'll be out the Orange Mountain Community
Center screening again in December, the first week December sixth. Yeah,
so we've got the year already there, We've got our
screening partner. I have to really give a lot of
kudos the quest to say, look, they see and felt
what we were doing and felt something needs to be
done in the community, and they felt we were the

(34:45):
best people to partner with.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
This is good good and our goal is to.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Is to get out into the community, not just the
white area. We want to I mean, we're gonna go
as far as our east.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Good.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
So one of my responsibilities is picking checking the landscape
and see where we can go do your screenings. So
that's that's part of my responsibility, is part of being
the secretary for p X.

Speaker 8 (35:12):
Let me give a kudos. I'm president Charles Ettles. Hopefully
he's listening. He's our treasurer, and doctor car here is
the secretary. We're small, but that's okay with the medical.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
But you're doing something wonderful for the community and especially
for men, especially for our black men.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, before we go to break, let me get another
phone call in here. W d I a high caller?

Speaker 11 (35:39):
Hello?

Speaker 7 (35:40):
Yes, Oh okay, I guess you got Lando.

Speaker 12 (35:45):
Now I got you.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
Yes, ma'am, let me ask you one quick course in
him to the doctor. Okay uh, it's part of the
okay uh. We get older and men not only men mad,
but I'm finding out so many younger men as well
having problems, and they're getting up here and they're taking
all these bigrals and all these mail enhancements and things

(36:06):
of that nature causing hal attacks and strokes, and do
that have a problem with mail with fors thet mail
enhancement causing prostate counseling and if you feel like you're
having to get up ten times a night or something
like that. I plan on trying to make it to
this program that you all won't have Saturday. Yes, but

(36:28):
I'm always concerned about men and friends and mans who
own all these bigrals and things. You see all these
commercials on television buying this and all this mail enhancement.
Is that what's causing a lot of prose counseling and
men Well.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
I wouldn't say the medicine itself, but it really just
boils down to you just having to go in for
your annual field schools to see what's what's going on.
It may be some other things that could be causing that.
You know, are you having issues with your blood pressure?
Are your diabetic? Do you have weight is?

Speaker 12 (36:57):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (36:58):
You know, all those things play apart. So as I
always say, go back to seeing your PCP so you
can get your blood work done to see what's going on.

Speaker 7 (37:08):
Yeah, I know. My doctor gave me some for said
I had a prostate enlargement, and gave me a medication
that I don't really trust it because once I started
taking it, it kept me. It gives me up about
every two hours, and I'm and I'm saying, wait a minute, Uh,
I was doing better before I started taking this finance
finance ride or whatever. Right, I was already taking the

(37:35):
task of those in So why would I need both
of them?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Well, one of them helps with your urinary flow in
terms of kind of slowing it down, and the other
one helps with inflammation of the prostate. So when you
kind of keep them together, that's what helps to kind
of get your prostate in a little bit better control.

Speaker 11 (37:52):
Well, what you think that this this one what the
f ware cam pronounces.

Speaker 7 (37:56):
But did that what what caused the men and started
getting up more?

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Well, the thing is you got to see you do
have enlargement, right they did.

Speaker 7 (38:05):
Well, yes, ma'am, that's what they said.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yeah, so you probably need to go back with your
urologists and check on that and see if there's anything
else going on. What about your fluid intake? Do you
drink a lot of like caffeine?

Speaker 7 (38:16):
Yeah, I get off. I know, I tried to. I
try to drink nothing but a lot of water, water,
and I guess me. I get up early in the morning,
I drink about two bottles of water and that's get
me going. And then during the day I may drink
one or two more.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Okay, what about your physical activity.

Speaker 7 (38:32):
You well, well, yeah, my dog went diagnosed me with
diabetes about about a year ago. And uh, I got
all these I got a bicycle, and I got a
shred meal, I got all this exercise stuff here in
the house. But I'm just trying to do everything he
told me to do. And uh then he then he
gave me this battles and then with that air phone

(38:53):
there saying I need to take it as well.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Trolling your diabetes, is it pretty control? Because you know
is out of order, out of range. You know that
kid cause you to go to the bathroom a lot
as well too.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
Okay, well I think they told him since I was
a borderline and now they're saying I'm into it. So
now I guess the number ust went up some kind
of work.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
Okay, Okay, so that could be part of your issue
as well too. So knowing that hemo globe in a
one C, that's the test that tells us how well
you're managing your diabetes, because if you butchery, you will
go to go to the bathroom quite a bit. And
then if you and if you got an enlarge part
stayed on top of that, and then it's a double whammy, right.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
All right, Before I get to I break, I'm want
to ask Scotty. Scotty, you know, to talk to the
This is important because you're a prostate cancer survivor. You
would tell men what.

Speaker 10 (39:49):
Please please get checked if anything happens to your urination
time or anything like that. If you have other something
like high blood pressure, anything, Please check your project. If
your doctor tells you that your your levels high, your
novels high, please get checked. Because you don't, like I

(40:09):
said it earlier, it's not a death sentence if you
do the right thing.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
It's not a death sentence. And I was going to
ask doctor capperdown. I know, I got to get into
this break. But because one of the calls asked you,
early detection is good, but you can get this family
history if if there's in your family it could it
be passed on to you.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
Ken is a prime example.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Okay, family history, yes, and I'm not so both of them.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
That's why it's always good to know you know your
family history. And that's why men you know who have
actually been diagnosed with it. That's why you need to
tell your siblings, your brothers what's going on, so that
would encourage men to go out and be tested.

Speaker 8 (40:53):
I tell you, another big risk factor for us, besides
the family history is our race.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (40:59):
In America, man, I'm most likely to get prostate and
to die from it.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (41:04):
There's a lot of factors that go in cause of that. Okay, Yes,
that's right. And some of us don't don't have health insurance. Yeah,
were not listening to things on the street, doctor, exactly.
There's so many socioeconomic factors. I'm glad you said that,
and so that's why Saturday is important. We're gonna talk
more about that.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
We're talking about prostate cancer, Prostate the Prostate Awareness Council
piac in with me is doctor Terry Carpenter is here,
and Can Corpenter, her husband who's an advocate and a
survivor prostate cancer survivor. Also Harold Scotty Scott. We know
a miss Scotti, prostate survivor of the t Pries And

(41:49):
I just yeah, so y'all know world famous Tim Prize
from nine to twenty six East Maclamore. I love that. Yeah.
When we come back, we'll wrap things up and talk
more with my guests. Love can be so wonderful.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
I'm telling everyone, talking everyone, and we.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Are talking a Prostate Awareness and PAC the Prostrate Awareness Counsel.
My guest, doctor Terry Carpenter Kin Carpenter, advocate and survivor
Harold Scottie Scott of the Tim Pree Survival. And we're
going to our phone lines to talk to my boyfriend.
He ain't X representative.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
G A hard Away.

Speaker 7 (43:01):
Her friend, Hey.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Boyfriend, how you doing there? I'm doing well today? How
you doing? G A?

Speaker 11 (43:09):
I'm doing pretty good.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
The first thing I need to do is to thanks
Scotty for all their music.

Speaker 7 (43:14):
Yes, yes, and I'll be listening.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
To he said, he want to thank you for all
that music we be listening to.

Speaker 12 (43:20):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
On the serious side, you have got the wonder woman,
doctor Terry at the one, the superman Ken of men's
health sitting there with you. The work that they've done
is phenomenal on all levels. UH. They were critical in
helping to pass legislation which he's eliminated the financial barriers

(43:50):
for prostate testing. It took the COPEI and it took
the UH, the deductibles and reduced them to zero. So
there's work that they've done which has effectively saved thousands
of lives. There's a man going to weddings and giving
away their daughters and making graduations and vacations with memories

(44:16):
instead of just being memories. So thank you to doctor
Terry and Ken for the work you're doing. Would you
mind speaking to you? Talked about how the blood relatives,
the sons and brothers, the immediate family would need to

(44:37):
be cautious because of the genetic links. What about the
new research that indicates that some of the cancers that
women are more subject to, such as breast cancer, are
also going to be more likely more probable if there's
a male in the immediate family with the prostate cancer diagnosis.

Speaker 8 (45:03):
Yes, there is new research and it's out that women
with breast cancer, cervical cancer, you doing cancer. There is
a genetic link to prostate cancer and men. In other words, ladies,
get your boards tested at a proper appropriate age. And

(45:26):
again represented GA Hardaway, we owe a lot, a great
deal of thanks to you. You came out to our
event and we launched. We liked to that that you
spoke to the men about your new legislation you had passed.
And also the men of Alpha Bay Alpha that hosted
that event and Alpha Memphis Education that allowed us to

(45:47):
have that huge event at there at our fraternity house
event forty two Barton.

Speaker 6 (45:55):
So we had a lot of things going on in
g A.

Speaker 11 (45:57):
G A.

Speaker 8 (45:57):
Harper Hardaware Representative Hardaway Step team spoke to the men
and told them exactly about that they can get to
get to the doctors. You know, if you have a
pre uh a family history of it. Yeah, okay, you
can get tested early and there's no coopey. Men did
not know that, okay, and so doctors they be aware.
You have to you have to treat and see these

(46:18):
guys and test them early. Testing if the family history
is there and the doctor has documented that in their notes,
that they have to have to do it, they.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Have to test them.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Yeah, and that's the key for us is making sure
that we have proper documentation and justification for being able
to do the test. So it's not a hardship anymore
being able to get this test done.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
Okay, Okay, So it's really not only about saving your
life getting tested soon and thus have their opportunity to
be more likely to be cured or recovery, but it's
about saving the lives of the loved ones in your family.

(46:59):
And you know that peace of mind to all.

Speaker 11 (47:01):
Of your loved ones.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
So there, Bed, I can't tell you just what a
tremendous impact that they've had on especially the African American community,
but on all tennesseeans UH and getting that message out,
getting the information out and saving lives. So thank you

(47:24):
once again to Ken, Thank you doctor Terry, thank you,
thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
You have done all your bloodswa and tears and we
really do appreciate you. Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (47:37):

Scott It thank you again for their music for me
and Bear.
